This special issue is dedicated to exploring the latest research and technological advancements in understanding the durability and failure behavior of high-performance metallic alloys utilized in aerospace applications. These materials are subjected to complex loading conditions, including thermal cycling, vibrational stresses, and high-strain-rate impacts. As such, their structural integrity and long-term reliability are paramount. The issue welcomes contributions that investigate multi-scale damage mechanisms, hybrid experimental-numerical techniques, and the role of alloying elements and manufacturing processes in influencing material behavior. Articles may address fatigue-resistance optimization, damage tolerance assessment, and in-service degradation processes such as oxidation and thermomechanical fatigue. Emphasis is also placed on emerging diagnostic tools, machine learning integration for damage forecasting, and sustainable alloy development. This issue aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue that will shape the next generation of durable, lightweight, and intelligent aerospace components.
